Glass Study

5"x 5" Original Watercolor
$250. ~ Contact the studio SOLD!
I was drawn to all the interesting glass and
did it my way with a different view instead of
the whole picture. Love the reflections on the
table.

Since we do not have shows until the last week
of April I am determined to get a blog painting
on every day. So I did nothing until it was finished
and realized it takes a few hours longer than
I thought it did. I finished this at 2pm. Rushed
to Tuesdays market and was home in time to change
into my coaching clothes for a 3:30 track meet.
Both boys and girls won our first meet, we are off
to a great start!

Where to find me!

My goal...

My goal is to join the other accomplished artists in the "Painting A Day" arena. I am expecting this endeavor to sharpen my painting skills and to help me grow as a watercolorist. I already paint full time and exhibit at art shows but I am hoping this experience will allow me to explore subjects I would not normally choose to paint. I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me. Andy Smith

ABOUT THE PAINTINGS:

Each watercolor is painted on Arches 300lb Cold Press paper. I use transparent watercolors occasionally adding ink to the wash. I paint in a series of washes to build color, creating shadows and a strong use of light.
The PAINTING A DAY paintings started January 1, 2007.
Variations in monitor settings plus my camera skills may not exactly duplicate the actual colors in the painting. I do my best!
I plan to work in two sizes.
An image of 5"x5" with a 1/2" border or
an image of 4"x6" with a 1/2" border.
You will need to take your new painting to a frame shop to be framed. For shipping, each miniature original watercolor will be placed in a protective sleeve with a foamcore back.
The new paintings will be posted for sale via Ebay. Paintings that do not sell at auction are then placed on my show stand at a price commensurate to my other work.
